Significant decrease of the International Index of Erectile Function in male renal failure patients treated with hemodialysis

In order to evaluate the erectile function in male renal failure patients treated with hemodialysis (HD), we investigated the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) in patients and healthy controls. The subjects were 174 male patients treated with HD, of whom 43 had diabetes mellitus (DM) and the remaining 131 patients did not have DM. The controls were 1133 healthy males. We evaluated the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) using the erectile function (EF) score, which is one of the five domains of the IIEF, in each age group (upto 39 y old, 40 -49 y old, 50 -59 y old, 60 -69 y old). The severity of ED was classified into five categories using EF in each age group. The univariate logistic regression analysis and multiple variate analysis of IIEF in HD patients were performed. The prevalence of ED in HD patients was significantly higher than that in the controls in each age group. The severity of ED in HD patients was also significantly higher than that in the controls in each age group. In the logistic regression analysis and multiple variate analysis of IIEF in HD patients, DM and age were significant risk factors on sexual dysfunction. ED was more prevalent in male renal failure patients treated with HD than in the controls. In the patient group, ED was more prevalent in older DM patients.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have a strong negative effect on the well-being and quality of life of the sufferer. Many factors may contribute to the development of this disorder; age in particular and also concomitant chronic illnesses including neurological, hormonal, arterial and cavernosal factors. An understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of risk factors for ED is required, in order to establish effective therapeutic strategies. However, the prevalence of ED depends on the definitions used and the use of an internationally established scale for the assessment of male sexual function is necessary to facilitate the comparison of data between different countries.Further epidemiologic research and analysis of individual risk factors is required. Such studies will clarify the interactive effects of organic factors and their probable etiology with the general physical, sociocultural and psychologic status of patients. These efforts will make it possible to design more effective future strategies for the treatment and prevention of ED.

With increasing life expectancy, medical profession will be faced with the task of ensuring that the large, aging population remains healthy and vital despite the face of increasing healthcare costs. Naturally, urology as a specialty is concerned with important geriatric issues. This article will focus specifically on the aging male population and the health problems that most frequently plague them. Four major, non-cancer, disease states have been identified that adversely effect males over the age of 50. These conditions are: erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression. A literature search of PubMed was conducted using the key words ED, BPH, CVD and depression as well as ADAM (Androgen Decline in the Aging Male) and quality of life (QoL). NIH and WHO conference proceedings and publications were also referenced to insure detail and accuracy of data. Information was then organized and correlated in order to provide a detailed description of the key conditions and their interrelatedness. The spectrum of research performed thus far regarding this topic has done little to investigate the effects, causes and correlations between these conditions. Research has been done linking two or three of these conditions; however, there remains to be information discussing the four disease states in terms of their possible cause and effect relationships or the effectiveness of parallel, multi-disciplinary approach to their therapy. This report calls attention to the benefits of viewing and researching the above mentioned conditions as possibly interrelated, as opposed to the traditional view of them as separate, unrelated and independently treatable disease states. ED, BPH, CVD and depression are all common conditions that accompany aging and negatively impact QoL. They almost always develop with age and precipitate considerable morbidity and may even result in mortality. Furthermore, the presentation of one condition may correlate with the development of another. The inter-relation of these conditions, as evident from their underlying similarities, cause-and-effects relationships and therapeutic consequences, should be enough to warrant a multidisciplinary approach to their research. This approach, combined with careful choice of therapy, parallel and singular, will help providers reach their goal to keep patients healthy, and more importantly happy, late into their life, thus realizing the concept of "successful aging".

Effect of Aging and Diseases on Male Sexual Function Assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function

Abstract: Aging and chronic disorders that have been considered to be putative risk factors for ED, therefore affect male sexual function in the elderly. The IIEF was suggested to be suited for use in studies assessing epidemiology of ED.
